I have 3 targets in my project and I want to set a custom build path for one of the targets. How do I set the build path for just one target in my project?
Use the Build Products Path build setting to set the custom build path for a single target.
Update
I noticed something new in Xcode 5. If you choose File > Project Settings and click the Advanced button, you can choose a Legacy build location that uses the target's build products location.

I'm building a project with many individual test programs in it; each test program is its own target.
There are a number of settings that each target in "Build Settings" such as several preprocessor macros, and about half a dozen libraries in the "Build Phases" tab.
Every time I create a new target, I have to manually enter those values all over again. Or I can duplicate an existing target and edit its build sources.
Neither solution is easy. Is there any way to simply copy the build settings from one target to another?
Add a configuration settings file to your project. Choose File > New > File to create a new file. The configuration setting file is in the Other section under iOS or Mac.
Put the build settings you want to copy into the configuration settings file. Select your project from the project editor and click the Info button.
Use the Configurations section to tell Xcode to use your configuration settings file. You can find more detailed information on configuration settings files in the following article:
Xcode Build Configuration Files
Is it possible to change the out put folder for where a target's executable and libraries are built to? Also is it possible to run more than one target at a time within XCode?
You can change where Xcode places derived data from Xcode's Locations Preferences. Choosing File > Project Settings allows you to change the derived data location for a single project.
I don't know of any way to run multiple targets simultaneously in Xcode.
Regardless of build configuration, building my iPad app does not actually output a .app file. It does run in the iPad simulator and on a device, but when I hit build or build and run, the binary appears under Products in red and is not created in the "build" folder as designated in build settings.
Any ideas?
Xcode 4 places its build products and other intermediaries/temporary files/indexes in a derived data directory now instead of a "build" directory that is mixed in with your product files. It does this to deal with the new workspaces and also so that you can have clean builds of different projects in different workspaces without contaminating each other.
If your original template was old, your built product is probably relative to your source directory instead of relative to your built products directory, which is why it's showing up red. By default, your derived data directory will be under ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData. To see where your current workspace/project is placing these files, you can File->Workspace Settings... and take a look at the Build Location.
I was having this problem. not only the product .app was red, also simulator wasn't loaded the binary, it was stuck in attaching 'my app'.
i solved it by going to file->project settings. in the tab 'build' changed derived data location to 'project-relative', and in advanced changed build location to 'locations specified by targets'.
with the default options it wasn't possible to run the app, i'm not sure why.
To resolve the issue in XCode 4.x go through following steps :-
Open your project in XCode.
Select .xcodeproj file in XCode project Navigator.
Select the target under the PROJECT Heading. (i.e. the top most target, this target specify your project level build settings)
Now navigate to Build Settings.
Now search for option "Per-Configuration Build Products Path" and update it's value to $(SYMROOT) .
Im playing around with the soundcloud api, in its instructions it says to
drag SoundCloudAPI.xcodeproj into your project
add it as a build dependency
I can drag the project in pretty easily, but how does one accomplish the next step?
To add it as a dependency do the following:
Highlight the added project in your file explorer within xcode. In the directory browser window to the right it should show a file with a .a extension. There is a checkbox under the target column (target icon), check it.
Right-Click on your Target (under the targets item in the file explorer) and choose Get Info
On the general tab is a Direct Dependencies section. Hit the plus button
Choose the project and click Add Target
Select your project in the navigator on left.
Open up the drawer in the middle pane and select your target.
Select Build Phases
Target Dependencies is an option at that point.
Tough one for a newbie like me - here is a screenshot that describes it.
Xcode 10.2.1
Under TARGETS in your project, right-click on your project target (should be the same name as your project) and choose GET INFO, then on GENERAL tab you will see DIRECT DEPENDENCIES, simply click the [+] and select SoundCloudAPI.
Just close the Project you want to add , then drag and drop the file .
Xcode add a project as a dependency
Xcode 10
drag-n-drop a project into another project - is called cross-project references[About]
add the added project as a build dependency - is called Explicit dependency[About]
//Xcode 10
Build Phases -> Target Dependencies -> + Add items
//Xcode 11
Build Phases -> Dependencies -> + Add items
In Choose items to add: dialog you will see only targets from your project and the sub-project
Today I faced with the same problem.
As the result of the first run I got next error:
Lexical or Preprocessor Issue: 'SDKProjectName*/*SDKProjectName.h'
file not found.
But before running, I, obviously, added my SDK into the demo project, just drag&drop .xcodeproj file into my test project's source tree. After that, I moved into Build Phases tab in setting of the main xcodeproj file (of the demo) and added my SDK as target dependency and embed framework into corresponding tabs.
But at the result, I got an error above!
So, the problem was into empty line on the Header Search Paths option. I just wrote "../**" as value for this key and project compiled successfully. So, after that, you can add #include <SDKName/SDKName.h> into any project, which includes this SDK.
ps. My test app was created into root SDK folder.
I've got an Xcode project that creates a standard application that can be branded in multiple ways and contain some custom content. At the moment I have a Resource "Resources > Tour Packages" with the custom files under this. At the moment every time I want to brand the app a different way I have to delete the old files from this resource and then manually add the new versions via the XCode UI. I can't post and image but it is here - http://img.skitch.com/20100121-xub48r6e1p857c84hdrgg25dw6.jpg).
My Question: Is there a command line tool that performs the same operation?
You'd probably be better off just creating multiple targets in your Xcode project, and associating the resources for each branded version of the app with one target.
To do this, just right-click on your target and select Duplicate. You should then remove the custom resources from the Copy bundle resources build phase. You can then add a new set of resources to the Copy bundle resources build phase that are specific to the new target. You can then build any target you like by selecting it from the Active Target popup in the Xcode toolbar or by selecting it in the Project > Set Active Target menu.
This way, you can easily build different versions of your app without having complete duplicates of all your source, difference Xcode projects etc.
Yes, the xcodeproj ruby gem allows you to add resources. https://rubygems.org/gems/xcodeproj/versions/0.28.2
